I dedicate this

to Cameo.

I want to reflect on some memorable moments in my life with my sister Cameo.

When I think about the numerous memories with my oldest sister Cameo, I venture back into our childhood together. One of the most memorable was made one afternoon after school as Jenise, Cameo and I played hide and seek. We would play hide and seek in our house in Minnesota and would always try new places to hide. Being the youngest, I could fit into more spots than my older sisters and I remember one time I got stuck in our towel closet because the door shut and I was stuck where I couldn't reach the doorknob. The poin
t of this story was I had this toy chest in my bedroom. It was shape
d like a football and made of plastic. It held all my toys. I would take all the toys out and hide in there sometimes for hide and seek, but the girls never tried to fit....that is, until that fateful memorable day. We started the game and Cameo went and hid. She found my hiding spot and figured I wouldn't ever check. Well I never found her at least until I heard her beg for help. She had gotten stuck and couldn't get out. Mom ended up calling the fire department, but called them off when dad got home and shook her out. Good memories.

  1. THANK YOU for not only writing a whole post in my memory but also setting that memory in stone FOR EVER AND EVER! I am sure my kids and your kids will be able to laugh at me for generations to come! :) All you need is the ONE picture of that memorable day to seal the deal! THANKS CHRIS!

  2. Yep, when I got home, I simply turned the football upside down, and out rolled Cameo!

    It was so funny -- sorry Cam! We laughed and laughed ... not AT Cam, but WITH her!

    I wonder if this will result in Cameo toning down the rhetoric about updating the blog more often ... I hope not!!!

  3. By the way, we do have a pic of Cam stuck in the football, but I'm not sure if we have it with us on assignment or if it is in MN... Love you Cam!! Mom
